Foundation Communities.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the panelist from Foundation Communities for their great lunch presentation on January 15, 2019. CREW Austin’s Vicki McDonald and a panel of great women provided the attendees valuable information on site acquisition and development of affordable housing, a real need in Austin, Texas. If you are interested in more information about the work of Foundation Communities, I have attached their link for your reference.
